Subject: RE: Corbyns second referendum proposal
The problem with Labour antisemitism, which undoubtedly exists as it does in every other party, is that it is virtually impossible to distinguish from criticism of Israel thanks to the practice of the Israeli regime using The Jewish People as a shield against their human rights abuses, land seizures and (according to some Jews inside and outside of Israel) attempts to ethnically cleanse the Arabs from their homeland

Antisemitism is the oldest form of prejudice and it is little wonder that some associate what is happening in Israel with the Jewish People - if the Israeli Government can do it, why can't we?
Accusations of Antisemitism have become a weapon a weapon of the right within the Labour Party to remove a leader who looks set fair to return the party to a socialist policy; the threat of BDS has given them a powerful ally in the form of the present Israeli administration, assisted by their voice in the British Parliament, 'The Friends of Israel' - virtually every accusation of Antisemitism can be traced back to this group; these attacks started a few weeks after a meeting if F.o.I. in Jerusalem which was convened shortly after Corbyn announced his support for the Plaestinian People   
Where Israel stands on the question of Antisemitism has been made quite clear by the Israeli Government's co-habitation with EXTREMIST RACIST AND ANTISEMITIC GROUPS - one of these groups has been compared by a Rabbi to THE KLAN
It will be interesting to see whether the current moves to indict Netanyahu with three charges of corruption will lead to a regime change and if so, who will replace the present bunch of thugs
